SUMMARY:Camden’s Forests
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, 6:30-7:45 pm\, Camden Public Library. Camden Talks Climate event: Camden’s Forests as a Lens on Maine’s Changing Climate with Ivan J. Fernandez\, Professor Emeritus and Climate Research Scientist in the School of Forest Resources. \nCamden is blessed to share a border with a well-forested state park. While we’re sure you knew about the park\, do you also know that\, in addition to being a treasured natural resource\, our state park also provides solutions to many of the challenges presented by a warming world? \nIn the last Camden Talks Climate event of the spring\, Fernandez will explore how climate change affects forests\, including the ways in which forest management responds to those changes\, and how forests contribute to climate solutions. He’ll also briefly discuss the 2024 quadrennial update of the Maine Climate Action Plan—Maine Won’t Wait 2.0—including its seven overarching strategies for Maine action on greenhouse gas mitigation\, climate adaptation\, and building resilience in our communities and ecosystems.

SUMMARY:Winter Warmth Potluck
